Scottie Barnes Exits and Returns to Scrimmage Following Left Thumb Injury

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes appeared to suffer an injury to his left thumb during Friday's scrimmage, as reported by Michael Grange of Sportsnet.ca. This initial report was published at 2025-10-04T02:02:00.000Z. However, shortly after, Barnes (left thumb) returned to the same scrimmage, according to Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic, with this update published at 2025-10-04T02:07:00.000Z. This indicates a brief exit from the session before rejoining, suggesting the injury was not severe enough to keep him out.
